Arabic vocabulary
How to say “I show mercy to you” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
قَالَتْ تَسْتَأْهِلُ أَلَّا أَرْحَمَكَ
She said, "You deserve that I withhold my mercy from you."
أَرْحَمَكَ — I show mercy to you. A present-tense verb with 'I' built in and an attached '-ka' (you, masculine) object, 'I show you mercy'. It sits in the subjunctive form because the 'that not' particle before it demands that shape; the ending is the audible signal that this verb is the content of the 'that...' clause, not a free-standing statement.
From: A Night of Reckoning →OpenArabic teaches words like أَرْحَمَكَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
